Everyone’s wish was Rafi’s C(h)(omm)and

One can’t deny the fact that composers from Goa, India’s Sunshine State, have always been talented.

But sometimes, they have to resign themselves to the fact that they may remain underrated.

As unfair as it were, that was how Datta Naik, alias N Datta, was C(handrak)a(n)tagorised.

However, to Hindi film music buffs of a certain vintage, he is not uN(ai)known.

One of his most memorable songs was Maine Chand Aur Sitaron Ki Tamanna Ki Thi, from Chandrakanta (1956).

The track, which continues to be one of Mohammed Rafi’s (Ra)finest renditions, was penned by Sahir Ludhianvi.
